I deliberately woke up early and went to school early to avoid Kenan. I wasn't sure he would drop me off at school as usual, but it was better to be careful not to run into him.Angry? Yes, let's say I'm angry. I feel entitled to know why. Shouldn't he just tell me? Why is he making things difficult for him?I got out of the taxi and rushed through the gate. When I passed Lenny's class, I saw her and Miranda looking at me intently from inside the classroom. And of course, I don't care; as long as she doesn't bother me anymore, I won't do anything bad to her.The atmosphere began to change, and some friends began to greet me. After what I've been through so far, I'm not sure if I can be friendly with them. Let's say I'm a vengeful girl. They once left me and ignored me; why are they pretending to be nice to me now?When I passed the indoor court, my steps stopped when a guy who was familiar to me was playing basketball there. My feet moved automatically toward him."Hey!" I shouted, ma
"What?" I looked at Tiana, who was standing beside my desk with a scared face."Clarisa..." Tiana looked very nervous; she only said Clarisa's name and looked down again.I took a deep breath, then shifted to look the girl straight in the eye."What are you talking about?" I exclaimed, annoyed."Clarisa is now an errand girl for the Aster Gang; please, Kei, help her," whined the girl with a worried face. Tiana even shed tears while begging me.Oh my! Quite surprising. I thought the Aster Gang had stopped because they failed to make me their butt. But apparently, they changed the target so easily.And now Clarisa?"I know you can help her; please, Kei, help Clarisa; after all, she is our friend," Tiana pleaded, tears now flowing freely down her cheeks.Hum, it's not that I don't want to help; getting away from Marko and the Aster Gang is also not an easy matter. I struggled with it, so I wasn't sure if I could help Clarisa."Just like you, I'm also afraid of them; I don't want to get i
I sat alone in class because I forgot to bring my sports uniform. Clarisa came into class with a limp and a bleeding forehead; the girl's face was also bruised. Clarisa didn't say anything and just sat quietly in her seat. No need to ask what happened to her; I already know that this is the work of the Aster Gang.This stinks; hasn't the school gone too far by letting those thugs continue to hurt other people here? Just because of money, they all turned a blind eye and allowed the child they were supposed to protect to become a victim."Now, I know why you hate us so much. We should have helped you first, no matter what," Clarisa chirped, making me look at her, who was looking down while crying.Ah, seeing her like that makes my conscience hurt. Someone has to take steps to stop them from bullying."I won't deny it," I said quietly."How did you manage to endure it all this time?" This time, Clarisa raised her head and looked at me.How can I endure it? I couldn't help it, so I tried
"Kei, some girls are looking for you; they asked you to go to the back of the school!" exclaimed Lily, my classmate, when I woke up from my sleep."Behind school?" I asked to be sure.Lily nodded slowly, then left me.Why did they ask me to go to the back of the school? Is this the Aster Gang? No, Lily would have said Lenny's name right away if she had asked me to go there.I yawned, moved my hands to relax my stiff muscles, then headed out of the classroom.All night long, I read the novel I had previously bought. An interesting story of a woman who has werewolf DNA and falls in love with a lone wolfThe story is more exciting than similar films I've seen in theaters.I walked quickly towards the back of the school because I wanted to quickly return to my comfortable seat and sleep well. Or should I pretend to be sick so I can sleep comfortably in the school medical room?"So, this is the name Kei Innaya?" A girl snapped as soon as I got behind the school.At least four girls were wai
Even though it was very heavy, I tried to open my eyes slowly. I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head. My feet also hurt a lot. I saw the white walls of the room around me.Kenan's face is the first thing I see right now, followed by the panicked faces of my father and... Steve?What is this?"Which part hurts?" asked Kenan, panicking."All," I said with difficulty."Do you remember the license plate?" asked Steve.Car license plate? Ah, I remember. A car was speeding towards me. I tried to avoid it, but not that fast to survive. It happened so fast; how could I possibly remember the license plate?"I don't remember the license plate, but I saw a unique picture on the car," I said quietly."What picture is it?" shouted Kenan and Steve together."Draw a black rose," I said weakly.Dad pulled the guys away from me and gave them a hard look."Let Kei rest first, okay?" cried Dad emphatically.Kenan and Steve were silent and sat quietly in the waiting room."Are you okay, honey? Which
I stared at the Aster Gang as they passed my class. There was nothing suspicious about their movements.I don't want to be prejudiced; it's just that, apart from them, who else would want to harm me?"Kei," Tiana called while giving me banana milk."You like this, right? Sorry for not being able to visit you," Tiana said quietly."That's ok!" I said it modestly.Well, I don't care whether she visits me or not; as I told her before, I don't consider her a close friend anymore, so who cares what she does?The class suddenly fell silent when someone appeared at the entrance.Steve waved his hand at me; he then walked unsteadily toward me.Tiana, who was standing beside my desk, immediately shifted away from me."Nice to see you here! Last night, I went to your house, but your dad wouldn't let me in because you were already asleep!" Steve exclaimed as he sat beside me.I remember someone ringing the doorbell last night. When I asked Dad, he said that the salesperson who came was offering
I had just opened my eyes when there was a knock on my bedroom door. When I looked at the clock on the wall in the corner of the room, I was surprised to find that it was late at night.I jumped off the bed and opened the door.Tiana and Via stood in front of my bedroom door and panicked."What?" I looked at the two of them in turn."Clarisa..." Tiana gripped my sleeve tightly.Clarissa? What else now?"She hasn't come home for several days; you know that she can never sleep anywhere other than her room, right?" Tiana spoke quickly."If she disappears, shouldn't you or her family report it to the police? Why did you come to my house instead?" I looked at them, annoyed."She went missing after delivering Lenny's assignment," interrupted Via."Then you should ask Lenny! Why are you even here?" I said it quickly."No one dares talk to Lenny but you, Kei!" Tiana exclaimed, frustrated."So?"Tiana and Via looked at each other; they then knelt in front of me. They begged, even whined, for m
I cover my head with the pillow; at least they're all asleep, even if it's only a few hours, while I?I haven't been able to close my eyes until now; don't they pity me? Why is it so noisy?I threw down my pillow and straightened my body. The three girls who had controlled my room were still sobbing and sharing sad stories when Clarisa was kidnapped.It's not that I'm not sad or unable to sympathize with the problem; it's just that I'm really sleepy right now."Hey, you can continue this drama at Tiana's or Via's house! Look at my eye bags! I really need enough rest now!" I exclaimed, annoyed.The three girls looked at me; they then cleaned my bed and immediately took Clarisa away from my room.Look at that! They didn't even thank me.And they call us friends? Are they kidding?After they left, I immediately closed my bedroom door and locked it.To hell with school, I have to close my eyes now.***When I woke up from my sleep, I winced in confusion to see a place that was clearly not
